There are loadsa ways to get to the pad which is at: 6 Richmond Park, Herbert Road, Bray, Co Wicklow

 

Driving Instructions

Option 1: Southbound on the M50/M11 Exiting at Bray North (from City Centre or M50 or Bray village)

  • Carry on down the M50 past the Dundrum exit (Exit 14), the Sandyford/Dundrum exit, the Carrickmines exit and the Loughlinstown exit.
  • Stay in the lane that is indicated as Wexford. The M50 ends and joins up with the M11. Move to the left hand lane that is marked as Bray North / Shankill and take the 1st exit off the M11 that says Bray North /  Shankill. It leads to a roundabout, take the 2nd exit (signposted as Bray R761).
  • Keep going straight along this road (Dublin Road) and it will bring you into Bray town, you'll pass a Superquinn on the right and you'll cross the river Dargle, you'll pass the Royal Hotel on the left, keep going straight through the traffic lights (Main St) and it will bring you into Bray town.
  • Eventually you'll meet a fork in the road at the old Town Centre (McDonalds) which has a fountain outside. Follow the road on the right. This will bring you along Killarney road, a long road with bicycle lanes on both sides. 
  • As soon as you see the mountains in the distance, keep an eye out for a building site on the right hand side where new apartments are being built, and take a right here (Kilbride Lane).
  • You will pass a corner shop on the right. Follow this road until it ends and take a left (unto Herbert Road).
  • Take the first left into an estate marked as Richmond Park. We are one of the first few houses on the left - number 6.

    I've marked     this route on the map above with broken red lines.


Option 2: Southbound on the M50/M11 Exiting at Herbert Road (from City Centre or M50)

This option is easier to drive to as you don’t have to drive through Bray town, but you need your wits about you otherwise you’ll end up southbound on the M11 to Wicklow!

  • Carry on down the M11, passing by the Bray North / Shankill exit.
  • Stay in the slow lane, you’ll soon pass by some signs for East Coast Radio.
  • Keep your eye out for a large white sign saying Herbert Road on your left; as soon as you see it slow down immediately and slip into the leftmost lane and take the sharp exit.
  • Follow up this windy road and take the 3rd exit off to the right into Richmond Park. I am the 6th house on the left!

If you missed the Herbert Road turn off (easily done!), fear not - you will soon read a roundabout. Take the first exit around by the garage, following the sign to Bray. This brings you unto Killarney Road, a long road with bicycle lanes on both sides and estates of either side of the road. Take the 6th left (Kilbride Lane). You will pass a corner shop on the right called. Follow this road until it ends and take a left (unto Herbert Road). Take the first left into an estate marked as Richmond Park. I am the 6th house on the left.

 

Option 3: Northbound on the M50/M11 Exiting at Killarney Road (from Wicklow)

  • Take the Bray exit off the M11 (watch the roundabout, it’s a small awkward turn off) shortly after Avoka House.
  • Follow the signs to Bray (R767) and you be travelling up Killarney Road, a long road with bicycle lanes on both sides and estates of either side of the road. 
  • Take the 6th left (Kilbride Lane) - it's just before at a building site on your left hand side where new apartments are being built. You will pass a corner shop on the right.
  • Follow this road until it ends and take a left (unto Herbert Road). Take the first left into an estate marked as Richmond Park. We are the 6th house on the left.

Note: It’s not possible to go northbound off the M11/N11 unto Herbert Road.

  

DART / Rail

Bray DART station is the nearest station, you can get DART or Intercity or Arrow rail services these. There are DARTs every 15 mins on a Saturday and every 20 mins on a Sunday serving the stations from all DART stops from Howth and Greystones.

Unfortunately, Bray train station is about 35 mins walk from the house, so your best bet is to:

a)     call me to say you are at the station And I'll pick you up...

b)     failing that, grab a taxi from the rank just outside the DART station. It’s literally only 5 minutes drive from the station and should cost you around 8 or 9 euro... or maybe a crisp tenner .

c)     get the DART (or bus) to Dun Laoghaire DART station and get the 45A bus outside it which drops you 2 minutes walk from the house

 

Bus

There are plenty of buses to Bray, you can get some routes stop nearer to the house than others.

The 45A comes from Dun Laoghaire DART station at approx every 30 mins on Saturday; the timetable and route is at: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/45a/

The 145 comes from City Centre (Mountjoy Sq, D’Olier St, Kildare St, Leeson St) every 30 mins at approx every 30 mins on Saturday; the timetable and route is at: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/145/

Ask the bus driver to drop you off at Kilbride Road. It’s a few stops after Bray village (get off at the by a shop called the Green Tree on your RIGHT..) It is literally a 2 minute walk from the house. When you get off the bus, cross the road to the smaller green in front of you with a nameplate called Clover Hill. Walk through this green and pass by the houses on the right until you hit a small lane, take a left and I am the 6th house up on the left.

 

If you aren’t sure where you are or where you are going, just give me a call!

 

See you,
